UNIVERSITY: Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona
LENGTH: 60 ECTS
BEGINNING OF THE ADVANCED REGISTRATION:: 13/01/2017
ADDRESSED TO: People that hold a degree certificate in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Physics, Chemistry, Geology, Biochemistry, Biotechnology, Telecommunication Electronic Engineering, Materials Engineering, or another degree whose contents fit the profile of this master’s degree and a good level of English, equivalent to Level B2 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
DESCRIPTION: The master’s degree in Advanced Nanoscience and Nanotechnology allows students to become familiar with the latest subjects, methodologies and facilities in research into Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, based on the knowledge previously acquired in the scientific and technological profile of the bachelor’s degree.
The master’s degree, consisting of 60 credits and with a duration of one year, is structured into three specialisations: Nanomaterials, Nanobiotechnology and Nanoelectronics. Lecturers are both from the UAB (Departments of Physics, Chemistry, Geology and Electronic Engineering) and from research institutes located on campus [Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, Institute of Materials Science of Barcelona (ICMAB-CSIC), National Microelectronics Centre (CNM-CSIC), ALBA Synchrotron]. Lectures take place on afternoons, except in very specific situations.
Those interested in enrolling in this master’s degree can apply for one of the grants offered by the Catalunya-La Pedrera Foundation for graduates enrolling in master’s degrees. A total of 5,000 Euros is offered in one enrolment aid for this master’s degree. To apply you must have an excellent student record, a Spanish passport and you must enrol in the course full-time.
This concentration of nanotechnology research institutes and groups at the Bellaterra Campus is one of the strongest in Southern Europe, and has made it possible for the UAB to be officially recognised as a Campus of International Excellence in Nanoscience and Biotechnology.
